Designer: Dai FujiwaraOwned By: PrivateFounded: 1971, Tokyo History: After attending graphic design school, Miyake launched his design studio in 1971, followed by a tech-driven menswear collection three years later in Paris. Though the label took a more athletic turn under Naoki Takizawa following Miyake's 1997 retirement, current designer Dai Fujiwara has brought back the founder's experimentalist streak. The Look: Proportion play meets technical precision
